"IS RG GOING BACK TO SCHOOL? ...

... I don't see a class in Bunny Treating. Why waste his time." - Zoey Precise

"No, I am not going to school again. Period. But ... here is a 2 foot long spawning Coho salmon we saw today in one of the little creeks I walk up once a week in fall and winter. We found 9 of these in the 1/4 mile or so that we survey. The other little creek we walk had more than 500 smaller spawning Kokanee salmon in about 1/2 mile. Pretty amazing. The Kokanee will be through in about two more weeks, but the Coho are just beginning and will spawn through mid-January. This year is being a very good year for returning salmon in the whole Puget Sound region." - RG Busy﻿

I saw a cooking show many a salmon spawning season ago, and the person put a heavy coating of CREAM on the fish before putting it on the grill. Mmmmm, I thought I would die. I think a heavy schmear of Greek yogurt with honey and lemon, then throw over a low wood fire, served with wilted wild greens and washed down with a Rolling Rock would send me into fits. I am about to have fits now...
